I have 2 beautiful daughters Rachel and Abigail they are the joy of my
life. Both of my daughters also attended RiverWalk for school. RiverWalk just feels like home to us, it is more than a school or job it is a passion and ministry.

I strive to help them grow in character and wisdom and experience the great joy of having the love of Christ living in them. I want my students to Strive for excellence every day in all they do to make them the best they can be.
